Robin Moore was the well known author of The Green Berets, The Hunt For Bin Laden, and The French Connection: A True Account of Cops, Narcotics, and Inter
national Conspiracy. In the early months of the Iraq War, despite having Parkinson's disease, Robin Moore ventured into Iraq to interview troops on the ground and get a first person view of the war. The 78 year-old WWII veteran shocked the contractors and service members in the war zone as he fearlessly lived among them while writing his book Hunting Down Saddam: The Inside Story of the Search and Capture. Robin Moore later died in Kentucky in 2008, but his book still remains as a testament to the resolve of U.S. forces to fight insurgency, subversion, and terrorism in Iraq.

itle, the book isn't only about Saddam's capture. It covers the war from the invasion to the capture of Saddam Hussein. It is a good resource of information about any part of the war through December 2004. One unique aspect of the book is the many different angles from which the story of the war is told. The fact that the book has the stories of a Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th Infantry Division, a Fox News war corespondent, and others, helps you not only see the war, but feel it in so many different ways.

I'm a big fan of memoirs for this very reason and the book had the feel of a multiple-memoir. Also, the extensive information of the book made it worth every penny. I would recommend this book for anyone who would like to know more about the war.
